Impact and Role of Artificial intelligence and Digital Systems in Safety Policy Implementation in ICU

This rapid focus review examines the impact and role of artificial intelligence (AI) and digital health tools in ICU safety policy implementation. It targets key outcomes—delirium, falls, pressure ulcers, and healthcare‑associated infections (VAP, CLABSI, CRPBI)—and evaluates predictive accuracy, monitoring capabilities, implementation barriers, and policy relevance within the SAFE‑ICU framework. Using a hybrid methodology (rapid review principles plus PRISMA‑ScR elements), the protocol outlines systematic searches across major databases and gray literature, structured screening via Covidence, standardized data extraction, and narrative synthesis. Outputs include an evidence map, implementation insights, policy analysis, and educational materials, designed to support harmonization of ICU safety protocols across Europe.
